20+ free calculators and spreadsheets
The quilt fabric calculator is the quilter door; the other two doors are a rate and a stock count.
Each door is a starting question — fabric, rate, or stock. The free shelf below has more for fabric math, rates, and selling. Start with a door, then browse all free tools — no account, no card.
Nothing below is a claim about us. Each one is what the calculator or spreadsheet shows when you use the sample numbers — open the tool and reproduce it in about a minute.

The mug started at 24, sold 20, and the sheet flagged it the moment it crossed 5.
How it fits together
Quilter, freelancer, or handmade seller. Use the free tool, email for a spreadsheet if you want the file, and pay only if you ever need the desk that goes further — no Stack on the maker path.
Free tools
Pick a starter for your niche, then open any other free calculator or spreadsheet in that line. Calculators need nothing; sheets cost an email for the file. No account.
You're at the cutting table (or in the shop) and you don't want to run short mid-project. Enter quilt and block size; you get yardage for blocks, borders, binding and backing — with the strip math shown so you can check it.
Also free in this niche
Salary ÷ 2,080 underprices you. Start from the take-home you need, subtract non-billable time, add overhead and a tax set-aside, and get an hourly floor, recommended rate and day rate — with the breakdown so you can defend it.
Also free in this niche
Etsy won't tell you when a variation hits zero, and fees are not the same as deposits. Log what comes in and goes out; the sheet shows on-hand stock, flags reorder points, and shows profit after platform fees and shipping.

Rather build the inventory sheet yourself than download ours? The track-inventory-in-Google-Sheets guide builds the same system from scratch, formula by formula.
There isn't a trial that turns into a bill. Calculators stay free in your browser. Spreadsheets cost an email so we can send the file. Paid kits are optional and one-time when checkout is live.
The calculators answer in your browser, and the template pages show you exactly what's in the file before you ask for it. No account, no card.
Want a spreadsheet to keep? Leave an email and it arrives in one message. Printable calculator worksheets are planned, with a list to hear when they land.
If a free sheet stops being enough, the Seller Back-Office Kit and the quilting pricing aids go further. One payment when checkout opens — no subscription, no fake charge on a waitlist.
If you quilt, freelance by the hour, or sell handmade goods, stay with the calculators and spreadsheets above — that is the primary Kitvert line. This section is only for people who sell software or digital products and already run n8n and Notion.
After you ship, Mondays fill with waitlist follow-up, sale logging, support triage, testimonial asks and changelog notes. Those jobs live under Kits as free workflows (with Notion templates). The $99 Stack connects all five in one workspace if you want the assembled system.
Yes. The calculators run in your browser and don't ask for anything. The spreadsheets cost an email address, because that's how we send you the file. Paid extras are optional: the $29 Seller Back-Office Kit for shop desks; longarm and commission sheets (planned at $35 each, or $49 together as the Quilter who sells pack); and the $99 Indie Operator Stack under Kits for software sellers on n8n and Notion. Maker paid pages are notify-only until checkout opens — nobody is charged from a waitlist.
No. Type your numbers and the answer is on the page. The free quilt cutting-plan worksheet is a printable companion to the yardage and binding calculators. More printable versions may follow; calculator pages say when a companion sheet is live.
Yes. It's an .xlsx file using only formulas that Google Sheets and Excel share, so you can import it into Google Sheets or open it in Excel directly.
A $29 spreadsheet kit built around the free inventory sheet: product costing, a simple income and expense ledger and an invoice tab, all reading from one product list. The file is built; checkout is not live yet. Join the list on the Back-Office page for one email when you can buy it — nobody is charged in the meantime.
Usually no. Kits is for people who sell software or digital products and already run n8n and Notion. Quilters, freelancers and handmade sellers should stay with the calculators and spreadsheets on this page. The one exception is the freelance rate card pack, a plain spreadsheet that happens to live under Kits.
Fabric yardage, a freelance rate, or what's left on the shelf. Pick your question — the answer is on the page in about a minute.
